Response to "Fat Jaguar Versus Fat Elephant: FIGHT!"

This blog from fatshionista.com is about people who are overweight was written by a woman weighing over 300 pounds. She is speaking to the people who believe that being fat is unhealthy and bad, and she argues that it's not that fat people don't fit in the world (or its chairs), it's that the world and all it's products aren't designed well enough to fit them. She believes that she is perfectly healthy and that her fat is not causing her ill. She thinks that all bodies are individual with different amounts of fat and there is no 'healthy norm' that every person must meet. The author conveys her message though her harsh and angry tone and officially, kind of sharp sounding words. I can recognize her tone by the amount of repetition she uses, stating her point multiple times as if to knock it into a disbeliever's head. She argues that chairs and other difficult products that are not one size fits all are not made in nature, therefore, it is not to be assumed that people are to be naturally not fat. She compares the jaguars and the elephants to the weights of humans, demonstrating that diversity in weight DOES exist in the wild. I both agree and disagree with this author. I feel like yes, society should be more accommodating to all body sizes and types, but I still think that there are certain health problems related to being overweight. Fat is also a natural thing, and is often genetic, so no matter how hard a person tries, they may not be able to obtain a 'healthy' body that is accepted by society's standards. I don't expect people to all be at the same weight or fat level, and it's not necessarily that they're at a disadvantage to others either, I just feel like some people who are overweight are so because they do nothing to try to get in shape, and in those cases, there ARE health problems attached.
